The labor situation at Chicago grows
worsc instead of better, and a practical
cessation of building operations for the
season seems inevitable The strike
upon the one hand shows no signs of
yielding, and the lockout on the other
is absolute. If this condition of things
continues the trade Of Chicago must
seriously suffer, and the worst feature
of the whole matter Is that nobody is

SO, the Orangemen and others hostile
to the objects OF his visit doing their
best to break up the meeting In disor-

the agitation which he seeks to create

of making Canada the theatre Of cru

The World this morning publishes
an interview with eX.Secretary Man.
ming, with which the representative Of
that journal was favored on recent
visit to Bournemouth. 1t relates in
part TO politics and partly to finance.
Mr.. Manning, In answer to the ques.
tion whether he thought the President
would be candidate for renomina.
,ion, made no direct reply; but he be-
lieved that the Southern and Western
States were in favor of Cleveland for
second term, and that 1t would be
better for New York to accept his re-
nomination as matter of course, than
TO have 1t given the appearance of
being forced on her. In other words,
there should be no factional differences
in the party. Mr.. Manning is we'll
pleased with Secretary Fairchild's ap-
pointment and hopes that Congress
will do something next winter towards
the reduction of taxes. As to relieving
the present surplus by going into the
market to buy bonds that are not yet
due, he thinks 1t would be very bad
policy and not To be entertained for a
moment, rcmarking;
Holders Of bonds not due wou'd not sur.

strengthened by any plan to dispose OF tnl
surplus In that way.

he largely improved.
Now that the Central Committee of
Citizens ia fully organized and ollicered,
its real work begins, and a glance at
the composition of the Committee will
show that 1t abounds in good working
clements. There Is much to be done
and no more time than is necessary to
do 1t In before the meeting Of Congress,
especially If session should be called
in October. There are two important
things to be considered in this behalf
that the incoming Congress has about
one hundred and thirty new members,
and that, as usual during the few
months Immediately preceding Presi.
dental nomination, the practical use.
fulness of the session will be more or
less disturbed by politics. So much
the more urgent is II that the Committee
should formulate their action at the
earliest practicable date, so as to be
prepared for an intelligent presenta.
tion of their case when Congress first
assemblies. If the legislation that is
desired is agreed upon beforehand and
placed beyond the necessity of further
explanation or danger of further con.
troversy, it will be great point gained.
What isneeded is for Congress to know
clearly, just what the District wants,
and TO be assured that when the Senate
and House committees take our local
matters into consideration they will not
be interfered with and hampered, as
was notably the case in the last Con-
gress, by factious and opposing interests.
As THE CRITIC has heretofore stated,
the Central Committee consists of such
influential and reputable citizens that
their recommendations will not only
carry great intrinsic weight, but be ac-
Cepted as the voice Of the people at
large. The Committee Is understood
TO represent In concentrated form the
public sentiment of the District. 1t Is
to render this sentiment effective III 1t

chief object the facilitation of District

THE Alumni of the Yale Theolo .ica'
School are holding their annual meet.
ing at New Haven to day, and one of
the principal questions TO enter into
their discussions will be the "new
theology" not long ago in controversy
at Andover. The point was raised in
connection with the subject of foreign
missions, about which the American
Board at its meeting in October next
propose to take some decided stand,
and 1t was desired to sound the scnti.
ments of the Yale Alumni on this
point in advance. 1t is, of course, i'm.
portant, before sending out more mis-,
sionaries, that 1t be definitely ascer'
tained whether the poor heather
can be saved on any other terms
than those set forth In the original
Andover creed. 1t would not only ba
waste of money to send out apostles
of false doctrine, but the refinement OF
cruelty to inoculate the unconverted
natives of Boriboolagha with heresies
that would only rescue them from Pa.
ganism 10 condemn them to Christian
damnation. Let this thing be settled
at once and for all time. II salvation
is TO be had only by the way of Ando.
